Hi have you tried using sequences? http://patterns.dataincubator.org/book/ordered-list.html or even: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~stefan/daml/order.html
personally i would also add some kind of property which describes the semantics for the attribution order, so it's possible to have in the same dataset also papers with alphabetical order 2013/5/5 Yusniel Hidalgo Delgado <[email protected]> > Hello community, > > I am having troubles for modeling the position behavior of authors in > research papers. I have a relational database with three tables: > *author* (authorID, name) > *paper* (paperID, title, abstract, date) and many-to-many relationship > *author_paper* (authorID, paperID, position) > > the position attribute is the order (integer) of author N into the paper M > (e.g: first author, second author...) > > I want to generate a RDF graph from this relational database.
